Cher has some choice words to depict a honestor with whom she previously toiled.
In a sprawling interwatch with The Times of London, timed to the first-half liberate of her two-part memoir, she uncovered up about her childhood and atgentle, including an acrimonious experience filming 1985’s biodetailedal drama Mask with helmer Peter Bogdanovich.
“There are only two honestors I didn’t appreciate: Peter Bogdanovich and the guy from The Muppets [Frank Oz, with whom she toiled on 1990’s Mermaids]. I actuassociate got the guy from The Muppets fired. I said, either you’re going or I’m going, which is a shame becaparticipate he’s a reassociate outstanding honestor, but he had a leang about me. He would go, ‘At least my wife cherishs me!’”
Detailing her experience with the createer filmoriginater, the legfinishary multi-hyphenate said Bogdanovich was anti-women and pompous. “He was an asshole. He was not pleasant to the girls in the film and he was so f—ing self-transport inant. I reassociate, reassociate hatredd him.”
On one occasion, the Believe singer said a conversation about blocking turned into an bomb argument: “He comes in and says, ‘Cher, where do you leank we should film this scene?’ And I say, ‘Well, the kitchen is toiling pretty well, why don’t we do that aachieve?’ The next morning he get tos on set, eating an egg sandwich, and commences screaming that he’s not going to let me honest this film; I’m a nobody; he can cut me out at any moment. Oh yeah, he was a pig.”
When asked by the profiler if she had been trying to honest the film, Cher replied, “Ask everybody: I’m reassociate effortless to toil with. I’m not arbitrary in the leangs I say, becaparticipate it’s right to do what the honestor wants until you necessitate to speak up. Meryl [Streep] says that if the honestor wants you to do someleang you don’t appreciate, you say: yes, yes, yes, I’ll do it that way. Then you do it your way and they don’t even see. I’ve toiled with Bob Altman, Mike Nichols, Norman Jewison … Reassociate fantastic honestors whom I esteem. I understand when to participate.”
The Oscar-nominated honestor of The Last Picture Show didn’t mince words about Cher either, saying in a 2019 interwatch with Vulture that she was the most difficult actor to toil with.
“Well, she didn’t count on anybody, particularly men,” he said at the time, ahead of his death in 2022. “She doesn’t appreciate men. That’s why she’s named Cher: She dropped her obeseher’s name. Sarkisian, it is. She can’t act. She won Best Actress at Cannes becaparticipate I shot her very well. And she can’t uphold a scene. She couldn’t do what Tatum [O’Neal] did in Paper Moon. She’d commence off in the right honestion, but she’d go off wrong somehow, very speedyly. So I shot a lot of shut-ups of her becaparticipate she’s very outstanding in shut-ups. Her eyes have the downcastness of the world. You get to understand her, you find out it’s self-pity, but still, it transdefercessitates well in movies. I shot more shut-ups of her than I leank in any picture I ever made.”
The second half of Cher’s memoir is sdefercessitated for liberate in 2025.
Mask, also starring Sam Elliot, Eric Stoltz and Laura Dern, is based on the authentic life and timely death of Roy L. “Rocky” Dennis, who had a unfrequent genetic disorder called Lionitis, or craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, which caparticipates calcium originateup in the skull, thus disfiguring facial features and stupidinutiveening life awaitancy. The film won the Academy Award for Best Makeup.
